Crop Almost a Total Failure. 



The honey crop is almost a total failure 

 here, but I must have the American Bee 

 Journal, for of course I live in hopes of 

 better times another year. There has been 

 plenty of bloom, such as basswood and 

 clover, but such a dearth of honey, that, 

 like Dr. Peiro, I have been led to enquire, 

 '■ Why was this thusly ?'' but that query is 

 still unanswered, Mrs. Paul Barrette.

Season a Perfect Failupe. 



The honey season in this locality has 

 b=en a perfect failure. There will be no 

 hnnev for the market from the great honey- 

 belt of York State. 



The bees wintered finely, and were in 

 the best condition early in tfie season to 

 handle a big crop, and the weather was 

 delightful, just wet enough and just dry 

 enough, to all appearance; but that mys- 

 terious cause that keeps the honey from, 

 flowing was here all thru the season. 



Feeding will have to be done largely to- 

 winter the bees, unless something unusual 

 happens. 



■ Bugjuice " is the only thing bee-keep- 

 ers can look for to help them out, and that 

 is very liable to be a failure, like the clover 

 and basswood. 



No one here is afraid of "bugjuice" to 

 winter bees on; the only fear is that the 

 "bugs" won't come; but it is very dry 

 here, and this is the time they put in their 

 appearance, if the weather is right.

Light White Honey Crop. 



The white honey crop here is very light. 

 We may have a fall flow, as rains hav&

No Surplus Honey Yet. 



I can't do without a single number of the 

 American Bee Journal. Bees are begin- 

 ning to work on fall flowers; no surplus 

 yet this summer. W. L. McGhee.

Bees Didn't Do Well. 



I like the American Bee Journal ever so- 

 much. I had 20 colonies of bees in the 

 spring, increast to 81, and have taken otf 

 nearly 000 pounds of honey. Bees are not 

 doing very well around here this year.

Bees Have Done Well. 



Bees have done well enough up to date, 

 and would have done better if those high- 

 way bosses had let sweet clover alone. To 

 talk it into them not to do so is a thing 

 utterly impossible Gustavcs Kettering.

Honey-Yield Promises Well. 



Last winter was a very hard one here in 

 northern Idaho, and most of the fruit was 

 killed, and a good many colonies of bees 

 lost, altbo well protected with winter- 

 cases and chaff cushions, I came out in 

 the spring with :i."i colonies, which have in- 

 creast to 58. The spring was cold and 

 backward, but the honey-yield bids fair to- 

 be a very good one. 



My bees have access to an apple orchard 

 of 25 acres sown to red clover, with about 

 two acres of mignonette near it, and a 

 border of white clover eight feet wide on 

 two sides of it. On many of my hives I 

 have two supers, and expect they will al- 

 r'ost all be filled. J. A. W.vtkins.
